Liz Longley - My Muse lyrics

He sit's on my front porch
Nursing a cigarette it's well past 5 am
He's wide eyed and buzzin'
Just like everybody else in this town
I met him at the bar he poured out his heart
Some say it's the war
Some say it's the whiskey

My muse, a glory in his mess
He's as confused as I am about life and death
And I am bound to his darkness
Like he's bound to my light he's my muse

I tried to paint him
Though he's hard to define
His ever changing shade, his mysterious mind
Tonight I see him in the deepest of blues
Tangerine hues, under the light of the moon
Yeah

He's my muse, a glory in his mess
He's as confused as I am about life and death
And I am bound to his darkness
Like he's bound to my light he's my muse
Ooh, ooh

And he reminds me how broken humanity is
And how beautiful brokenness really is
And he speaks in stories as weathered
As the boots he's in
And he reminds me that we all have dreams
That never see the light because
We won't let it in
How we're all just dying till
We choose to live

He's my muse, he's a glory in his mess
He's as confused as I am about life and death
And I am bound to his darkness
Like he's found in my light he's my muse
Ooh, ooh
